蹩脚英语

Nora妈妈安排的相亲男人对Nora说，你真的很nice。

这在美国是一个半褒半贬的词；在纽约基本就是个贬义词了。

天真的Nora以为约会的演员喝醉时说的话是真的，还跟妈妈炫耀说她有了新男友，岂知他只是一夜风流而已（在纽约真的还有这么纯情的美国女生么）；在她失望地离开后，Nora好朋友的老公Mark说，Nora很好，就是不懂男人，男人是需要挑战的。

Audrey说，你是说男人都喜欢像我这样的bitch么，Mark边笑边说是的。

几天前一个年纪大的同事问我modern dating是什么样。

我觉得这就是modern dating，男人拼命想把女人灌醉，说些夸张的情话，然后上床； 如果还有好感，两个人再都玩些游戏，给彼此些挑战。

所以当Nora遇到非典型的Julian，她以为这不过是另一个想把我哄上床的家伙罢了。

于是Julian想亲Nora的时候被她避开，她不明白为什么Julian不停说跟她在一起的时光很快乐，她对没有跟她上床的Julian留下来并和她共度一天白天的时光感到十分费解。

在她焦虑症发作跟Julian发脾气后，以为Julian已经被吓跑了；第二天发现Julian却在台阶上等她---她马上开心的不得了。

那个在酒吧的Paul说的很好，你没什么问题Nora，你寻找的和别人不一样，但你得先找到自己才行。

Nora在地铁上远远看到Julian的时候，有一瞬间，我以为她决定放手了。

虽然后来两人跑出地铁看的很过瘾，总觉得什么地方不对。

或许期望主角的个性在一句话后就改变还是不太现实吧。

Nora还是一个过于nice的人。

至于她和Julian是real love还是法国版的modern dating， 我就不得而知了。

P.S.,我觉得任何不受酒精催眠的白天发生的sex的场景都很美，看的时候真心为主角欢喜，比如这部电影，比如Meet Joe Black。

很多时候的感情是毫无由来的，不知道怎么了，你就会为了一个陌生的人而疯狂，为了他的一笑一颦而费尽心思，为了寻找到他，不惜走遍天涯海角。

很多时候，看到电影或者电视剧里面的一见钟情，并且至死不渝的情节，我都会很郁闷的不可思议的想一阵子，到底是什么促使着他们能够在顷刻之间创造那么深刻的感情，而且能够一如既往的坚持到底呢？

当然，至今没有经历过什么爱情的我，是不会知道答案的。

这是一个没有什么波澜的爱情故事。

描述的事实让我们觉得就像是在身边发生的一样，开场的sara慢慢的穿上衣服，带上戒指，她的妆容，让我看到了他的憔悴，以及内心中的某种失去的东西，凌乱的小屋子，没有刷干净的红酒酒杯还有一些残迹，节奏不快，但是却透着某种感觉，说不上是什么感觉，缓慢的舒展开来，sara周围的人似乎都是热情而单纯的，她的身边有很多关心他的好朋友，而她的事业也是不错的，更加令人惊喜的是，她还很有魅力，剧中出现的那个演员，是被他吸引了吧，要不然怎么会和她上床呢？

不过，我不明白，为什么sara就是在醒来后就走了，但是后来她自己反悔了。

My boyfriend recommended the movie to me simply becos the guy in the movie did much of the things that he would have done...and i totally am with him on that after i watched it.Usually those movies that don't have closures are more to my taste.That is...an ending without an ending.Though in real life, it eats me up not having a closure.And in many cases,i pretend most of the time as if i were happy just to quit before i find out what will happen.The funny thing is that i actually experienced many of the similar occasions the lady has had with that French guy,which is why i could exactly figure out why the lady would fall for that french guy.The scene on the metro near the ending is quite impressive to me...he was upset...but clearly trying to find appropriate words to express it...and he did alright just not saying much, and be impromptu about it all...Actually that's how i define being 'macho'...god...i am hopeless...

電影之所以為電影正是因為其演繹了我們曾經朝思暮想過的心馳神往過的各種YY因為浪漫虛幻因為深知這種種種種均不可能在自己的生活里真實呈現所以我們被一切幻象所迷住了都說藝術源於生活而高於生活也許吧跟“緣分天註定”類似的情節即使女主角遺失了那張男主角寫給他的僅存的聯繫方式紙條我們還是會猜到最後的最後總會相見只是不知以何種形式罷了這就叫“出乎意料之外 卻又合乎情理之中”可當我看到Julian在清晨即將離開Nora的那一幕Nora對其軟磨硬泡 種種撒嬌 為的只是不想讓他離開我卻又被觸動了那感覺是如此地真實！！！

誰沒經歷過離別呢？

誰沒經歷過離別之殤呢？

戀人們團聚的時間總是那麼稍縱即逝於是離別便愈發顯得傷感起來但是又能怎樣呢？

現實生活中的我們能如電影裡的他們那般瀟灑拋下所有去做回自己或者說拋下左右去做自己想做的事情嗎？

你懂的不是不行而這一切均需要代價太多未知之數令我們裹足不前我們浪漫但我們不夠瀟灑所以也只能洩氣地當個studying/working machine & to stay all our life;do the same thingwhat the hell is dream?i dun knowi just know it is far far away from mePS: some dialogues that i appreciate1.M: I had a nice time with u last nightF: Really?M: Yeah, sureF: Even though we didn't have sex?M: Of course!

It was as close to perfect as any movie that I have watched recently. Some people would like to describe it as a love story, but I suppose a movie of female subjects should be more appropriate. It's different from traditional romantic comedy: more independent and more realistic. We can easily find the current problems faced by women, such as pressure from work, marriage, changes, confusion and loneliness. In Broken English, there is no complicated plot nor super star but it is full of natural and delicate emotion.Nora’s beauty is not absolute, but her feminine temperament is attractive. Nora got a Liberal Arts Degree, however she had been working in a hotel for six years. Work is not a problem for her, solving the problems is a clear principle for her. Love is important, but dispeling the confusion in her heart is equally important. Most women who under the pressure nowadays feel this way too; once they can not find a solution they get confused or even desperate.Nora was a romantic person and pursued perfect perception. But now she has turned out to be a little puppet who is out of control and lost her sense of proportion. She trusts men easily, then becomes more irritable and suspicious of love. Nora gets into a quandary about her life; she suddenly realizes that she is getting older and becoming the only single person in her circle of friends. Simple loneliness is a feeling,but deep longliness is poison. Long-term accumulation of loneliness makes Nora desperate. She is despairing of love; she is even despairing of herself. That is why she refused Julien’s kiss in the first place, but she can not prevent love from the depths of her heart. When Julien go back to France, Nora almost breaks down. She completely loses confidence and balance. All the low-key feelings jump off the screen.So she goes to France to find Julien. Perhaps Julien is only an excuse, and what Nora really wants to find is a new life or a new start. Finally she finds her dim love on the subway which is a profoundly unreal scene in this movie, although it will hardly come true in real life, but it is beautiful. This romantic ending is not prepared for Nora, it is prepared for all the people who live in despair. It gives the inspiration and appeasement to women who are living in big cities facing similar problems. Broken English combined a realistic style with the fantasy in people’s mind. The female director of Broken English, Zoe Cassavetes, uses an exquisite perspective to express the loneliness and anxiety that exists in women’s lives.The movie includes a kind of comedy and romance, but the humor or laughter here is real. This reproduction of Nora in real life just meets my soul.

那时候我想，如果身边有个你就好了，这样至少我不会在凛冽中感到无助，在人群中过于狼狈。

但这样的孤独煎熬久了，我竟喜欢上独自穿梭时皮肤被阳光炙烤得微辣，游离在雨雪中肢体被寒冷侵蚀得微麻的感觉。

我曾踽踽独行于生命中四分之个日夜，怀着深深的幻梦与怯懦的逃避。

也曾每每对生命中的“不公”发问，为何同样的际遇下获得幸运的总不是我，把快乐视为可憎的顽童，靠近只是为了戏弄自己，快乐的空气在我就像乘坐摇晃的热气球，一不留神就会被摔得稀碎。

深信孤独才是我最坚实的依托。

我本来做好了这样的准备，反复地逼自己从憧憬中抽离，哪怕我也能看到平凡里的小闪光——我始终认为它们是避免我干涸的露水，但也仅仅是维持生命不生不死。

戏剧性的，就如同电影剧情的走向，我遇到了他，像一场宿命。

这样的说法或许太言情梦幻，但这就是我真实的感受，他并不纠缠，但却能恰到好处地托住我，我仍会把一贯的丧气、怀疑、摇摆、苦痛抛给他，可这一次他竟留了下来，带着无时不刻的陪伴、包容、坚定、温柔，深植我心。

我不知道这是否就是故事的结尾，但是我始终相信他是这个世界带给我的最美的礼物。

生活的苦难从不会放过任何人，但是它的馈赠也从未停止，我愿留在他身边，做一个即哭即笑的傻瓜。

在“Broken English"里听不到太多的Broken English. 法国人说英语蛮好的，至少片中的几个法国人说的口音没有太重。

分析一下，好像他们闹出笑话的几个地方都是没有把英文中的h音发出来，比如hungry,念成angry. 最搞笑的一句是个善良的司机说的。

I hope you find happiness here.（我希望你们在这里找到幸福）结果，两个女人听成...find a penis here. (找到个阴茎）以为司机有什么不良企图，黑着脸就走了。

可怜的法国人，笨蛋老美。

好在别的地方基本上没有因为英文蹩脚而造成太多误解。

片子应该会比较受女性的喜欢，因为是从女人的角度看寻找合适伴侣的艰难。

不过没有什么太多的新意，也没什么特别打动人的地方。

几次看到女主角神经质发作我都觉得有点可笑，难道没有男朋友的女人都至于成了这个样子？

有几个地方让我想起了以前看过的类似电影，比如"BJ日记"里家里人着急到处给介绍相亲的场景，可惜这个没有BJ的搞笑幽默。

最后一个场景跟"爱在日落时分"Love at Sunset一样，只是男女主人换了一下-- 男女主人公好不容易重逢了，一个却要很快去机场，结果当然是舍不得分开。

一个问另一个：你知道你要误了飞机吗？

另一个回答：是的。

镜头就此定格，结束。

一模一样的结尾。

不过即便这样还是在最后有点感动，也许是人的天性，希望所有美好的东西都能圆满，有情人终成眷属。

看完这个片子忍不住又想把它跟Love at Sunset一起比较。

Broken English除了结尾抄袭人家，巧合的是也谈异国恋，也是一个法国一个美国人（除了男女对调），不过深度上就能跟人家比了。

也许是我有些偏见吧，Love at Sunset滔滔不绝的一个多小时里，所谈的内容给我的想法非常吻合，还有那份感情，经历了十年让人觉得弥久珍贵。

而Broken English里的感情发展太快了，仅仅几天的相处，又能有多少东西将这份感情维系下去呢？

看了15分钟才发现没有字幕，而且确实最后全部无字幕看下来基本没什么没听明白的，可能确实是broken English，所以说的比较简单，但是包括什么法语，西班牙语一概都能听个差不多还是挺佩服自己。。。

女主角属于越看越耐看型，演得很不错，惟妙惟肖，一个绝望的寻找爱情的女人，眼睛里暴露着一切。

男主角很可爱很可爱，眼神特别无辜，暴烂的英语，带个草帽，不过身材不错。

另外手法值得学习，I just want to kiss you电影很自然的流淌下来，完全不费力气。

最后在两个人的天真中结束，没有结果，挺好，应该这样。

刚看完。

也许我总喜欢在电影里找自己的影子吧。

稳定的工作、有点小资的生活、一大帮朋友，可是生活里总缺少些什么。

是异性的体温么？

还是只是一个吻？

抑或是一句承诺？

35这个年龄在中国来说的确算大龄青年了，想要得到，又害怕失去。

我也会有焦虑感，在男生面前，特别是有好感的男生面前，但是不需要用药物去控制。

只是不知所措。

深圳，这座生活了20多年的城市，可我一直看不清围墙里人们的心，我不知道是不是我太在乎第一感觉。

好害怕。

我已经开始相亲了。

虽然我还没而立。

不愿去酒吧，不喜欢出去蒲，每次都是和朋友（大多是女生）一起。

里面有一句对白让我对自己现在的境遇找到了一丝理由：“不要总是和已婚男女或情侣一起，这样会更遇不到真爱。

”恩，我坚决不再当电灯泡了，真让人沮丧。

我似乎不是在评论，像在自言自语。

虽然现实不一定会出现结局那种美好的场面，但是它让我懂得，不要害怕，要把自己的想法说出来，即使要拒绝。

不要把生活想的那么龌龊，因为我们其实也不纯洁。

我也在计划一次旅行，不知道会有什么境遇。
